About me

My name is Bee Skelton. I live and work deep in the countryside of middle England. I was always going to be a painter, but it took many years for the passion to become fully focused. As a child I thought in pictures and as I got older began to realise I looked at everything with an artist's eye. Way back it wasn't just painting and drawing I enjoyed, but also a variety of crafts, which I also taught for a while and designed projects for needle craft magazines. In 2003 I began fine art studies, at the Cyprus College of art, where I was living at the time, then with the Open College of the Arts UK. My studies covered a wide variety of fine art techniques and I continue to work in many different styles. Through out it all I always return to my passion for portrait painting and landscape. It is what I love and I know it brings other people pleasure.As an artist I'm inspired by the affection my clients have for the subjects they commission me to paint. Whether it is their child, partner, parent, family pet, home or a favourite place, the love is infectious and gets right into the picture as I paint.

Bee was absolutely wonderful to work with. Timely in her communication, willing to share progress as she was painting, and the final work was outstanding! The portrait of our dogs was a Valentine's Day surprise, delivered on time and it was wonderful. I am so grateful that we will have a picture of our "babies" for a long, long, long time. I was also amazed with how Bee was able to capture the dogs' personalities in the portrait. Thank you once again!

Mrs Bee has an extremely awesome talent!!! My painting literally took my breath away!!! It is unbelievable that she could capture my babies personality from a photograph- the painting makes you feel as if Mrs Bee knows and loves my baby!!! She was very attentive and wonderful to work with, and made me feel as if I was working with a friend across town and not across the world!!! We will enjoy this for years to come and I can not wait to have others painted!!! I can not thank you enough!!!

Received the brooch just in time for Christmas! Very pleased with it, thanks!

From beginning (choosing the yarn and the buttons) to the end (receiving the package quick and so gorgeously wrapped), this was a fantastic transaction. The mittens are beautiful, Bee! Thank you so much.
